Horn was last seen in Washington, D.C. He was missed after he failed to pick up his son at National Airport on August 31, 1977. He has never been heard from again. His dark blue 1976 Oldsmobile Toronado was found abandoned and burned in North Carolina months after his disappearance.Horn was well-known in the D.C. area as a radio personality on the WHUR channel. He disappeared shortly after he quit the radio to form his own production company. In 1978, Horn was indicted for failure to file income taxes during the years 1971 to 1974. Investigators suspect foul play was involved in his case, however. There were rumors that he was murdered, his body dismembered and the parts scattered in North Carolina. These stories have never been confirmed.

In 1979, Linwood Gray, Horn's former business partner, was tried on drug and tax evasion charges. Prosecutors alleged Gray and several co-defendants ran a multimillion-dollar heroin-smuggling ring; Gray, a former mental patient with a long criminal record and a history of violent behavior, testified that he had never been involved with drugs and his money actually came from a series of bank robberies. During his trial, Gray testified that Horn was a drug dealer who was involved with organized crime figures in New York. Gray said he had heard a contract hit had been taken out on Horn's life, but he believed Horn had traveled to the Netherlands, grown a beard and was running a business there. Gray was acquitted of the drug charges, but convicted of tax evasion and sentenced to 20 months in prison. It's unknown whether he was involved in Horn's case.

This is one of the least publicized case and this seems like something out of a movie. I'm leaning more towards the fact that he may have murdered because someone ordered a hit, either somewhere not far from D.C. or believing the rumors in North Carolina since he did associate a lot with Linwood Gray in the past and a bunch of shady characters.

The only key to knowing what happened is Linwood Gray IMO. In an attempt to see if Gray is still alive I searched up his name and found that he was D.C.'s biggest heroin Kingpin then and he was acquitted in 1979 of the heroin charges, but was back in custody in 1984 for trying to kill a prosecutor in 1978 and several murders.
